SGS-THOMSON Microelectronics has developed its own tools and libraries so that the C++ compiler, used in conjunction with the ANSI C Toolset, can be used to programme ST20 and transputer targets. The C++ Preprocessor is available for two development platforms: ST20-SWC++/PC C++ Preprocessor for IBM PC under MSDOS 5.0 ST20-SWC++/SUN C++ Preprocessor for Sun 4 under SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.4 1.1 C++ C++ is a general purpose programming language which has evolved from C. It combines the benefits of object orientated programming with the efficiency of C. Its benefits include: Strong Type Checking Helps reduce coding problems. Encapsulation Constructing large applications is easier by using C++ classes. A C++ class is a user defined type which may contain data to represent the type, and member functions to implement operations on the type. Data Abstraction Ease maintenance and product evolution by restricting access to a class’s implementation details. Multiple Inheritance Classes may inherit properties from other classes. This enables classes (and hence effort) to be reused. Dynamic Binding Use function names consistently, independent of object type, as class members may be bound dynamically at run-time (virtual functions). Type-Safe Linkage Provides function argument checking across different compilation modules. This enables the correct function to be acquired by a linker when several alternatives are available in the presence of function overloading. Parameterized Types (Template) Allows users to define a type in terms of another, unspecified type, providing a facility for defining extensive standard libraries. 2/6 ST20–SWC++ Preprocessor 1.2 Use with the ANSI C toolset The following capabilities of the ANSI C toolset can be used from C++: Target processor support library, including functions for using the hardware micro-kernel. Multiprocessor configuration tools, for building programs to run on networks of IMS T4xx/T8xx transputers. 2 C++ Product Components 2.1 Documentation User guide, describing how to use the Preprocessor; Product reference manual, describing this implementation of the C++ language; Library manual, describing the C++ class libraries supplied; Selected readings, consisting of technical memoranda on the C++ language; Handbook, which is a quick reference guide; Master index; Delivery manual, which includes an installation guide and host-specific information; Release notes, which give details of this release. 2.2 Software tools In normal usage only the C++ driver will be called directly by a user, which calls the other tools as required. iccxx C++ compilation driver igcpp C++ preprocessor icfxx C++ compiler imxx C++ constructor linker ifxx C++ debug information filter Template instantiation set: 2.3 * ptcomp Instantiation compile-time action * ptlink Instantiation link-time action * tool1, tool2 Template repository tools Software Libraries libcxx.lib C++ iostream and C++ run-time support library libcplx.lib C++ complex mathematics class library 3/6 ST20-SWC++ Preprocessor 2.4 Licensing The ST20-SWC++ C++ Preprocessor is a single-user product.
